Hi, all! 10 years ago (in 2001) YL and myself changed our home location and our place of choice is very thunderstorm addictive!!! So, after burning an Drake TR7, I installed, on the antenna line a box with a big relay, turning on with whatecer 12 V PS I turned on swithching between a chock (2.5 mH National) when the PS is off, and a 1.5 Meg resistor with the PS on. The build up of static was resolved and I did not had any discharge with whatever TRX I am using (K2, Juma TRX2 and KX3). At this time I was running 600 W so the relay was able to support that power level (TR7 and L7A PA). Best 73 to all and GL with statics and thunderstorms!!! Bob F5UL
